Secrets of the Mirror of Erised by marouane al moatamid

" Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi. "

“ I do not show you your face, but I show your heart’s desire .”

That phrase adorned the ornate golden claw-legged frame of an ancient mirror, the Mirror of Erised.

The magic mirror that Dumbledore spoke about: “The deepest and most desperate desire in our hearts.” Illusions and desperate thoughts have always driven madness. Reality does not reveal the secrets contained within the human soul. The details of the mirror reflected this, so the word “Erised” was written backward to express it. The happiest and most fulfilled people in the world would look in the mirror and see their reflection, exactly as they are. Because then they would have no one or anything else to long for or desire that the mirror could ever show them.

“People are lost in front of it. They do not know if what they saw is real, or even possible.” This is how Dumbledore warned Harry about the mirror when he was looking at it with sadness and longing for his parents. Although the mirror is enchanted, it is not really harmful, but it has become... What has become clear over the years is that a mirror can do more harm than good. Many people lost their lives in front of the mirror and lost track of reality because they were deceived by what they saw and could not or did not want to accept it as just a fantasy. Some even went crazy when they saw their desperate desires displayed before them as a mere image confined within the mirror frames, unable to achieve what they were witnessing.

It is not known how it arrived at Hogwarts, but Dumbledore ended his conversation with Harry by stating that it would be transferred from there to another place so that we would see it again at the end when Harry went with his friends to search for the Philosopher's Stone and found it there. This was a clever trick by Dumbledore, who would hide the stone in it and let no one get it except someone who didn't really want to use it.

Rowling may have said that this chapter of the first book, titled "Mirror of Erised," is her favorite chapter in the book and one of her favorite chapters in the series because the mirror shows her heart's desire.
